Jesus, my Savior, I, His Priest - Hebrews 7:26-28

26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever. 

Hebrews 7:26–28.

 

Proposition: The Priests under the law could not save others or themselves, but Jesus as priest of the covenant oath saved believers so they could be priests of an actual holy, royal priesthood by faith.

 

 

1. Condemned I Stood According to the LAW

 

 

2. Made Perfect I am saved on Account of FAITH in Christ

 

 

3. Called to Put on Christ as His PRIESTS by faith

 

 

Connected Application Scripture:

⁴ As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, ⁵ you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ…⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. ¹⁰ Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. (1 Peter 2:4-5, 9-10).

EnLARGEd Series- Westminster Larger Catechism Q&A #2

"For an enlarged passionate Glorying and Enjoyment of God." 

I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart! (Psa 119:32 ESV)

EnLarged is intended to be a online devotional guide: a journey toward understanding the Q&A presented in the Westminster Larger Catechism (1647)

In this video, we examine Q&A #2 of the Westminster Larger Catechism: 
Q. 2. How doth it appear that there is a God?
A. The very light of nature in man, and the works of God, declare plainly that there is a God; but his Word and Spirit only, do sufficiently and effectually reveal him unto men for their salvation.
Rom. 1:19-20; Ps. 19:1-3; Acts 17:28; 1 Cor. 2:9-10; 2 Tim. 3:15-17; Isa. 59:21

Simply, in order to come to know God, we as creatures depend upon God to communicate Himself to us by way of "general revelation" and "special revelation." 

GENERAL REVELATION: 
19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
 (Rom 1:19-20 ESV)
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
 2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
 3 There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. (Psa 19:1-3 ESV) 

28 for "'In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, "'For we are indeed his offspring.' (Act 17:28 ESV) 

SPECIAL REVELATION: 

15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2Ti 3:15-17 ESV) 
9 But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him"-- 10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. (1Co 2:9-10 ESV) 

21 "And as for me, this is my covenant with them," says the LORD: "My Spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children's offspring," says the LORD, "from this time forth and forevermore." (Isa 59:21 ESV)
